Londra. CeCe è a un punto di rottura: dopo la morte del padre ha provato a riversare tutte le sue energie nell'arte, ma si sente più sola che mai. Abbandonata da Star, la sorella preferita che ha ormai trovato la sua vera famiglia e un nuovo amore, e senza ispirazione, decide di fuggire da Londra alla ricerca del suo passato. Gli unici indizi sono una foto in bianco e nero e il nome di una pioniera australiana vissuta un secolo prima. Durante il viaggio per Sydney, CeCe decide di fermarsi nell'unico posto dove si sente davvero se stessa: le meravigliose spiagge di Krabi, in Thailandia. Lì, tra turisti e backpackers, incontra Ace, un giovane singolare e solitario quanto lei, con un segreto da nascondere... Australia, 1906.

NON HO TEMPO PER AMARTI
Autore: Anna Premoli | Editore: Newton Compton Editori | Genere: contemporary romance
Link Amazon

Trama

Julie Morgan scrive romanzi d’amore ambientati nell’Ottocento. Di quell’epoca ama qualsiasi cosa: i vestiti lunghi, gli uomini eleganti, le storie romantiche che nascono grazie a un gioco di sguardi o al semplice sfiorarsi delle mani… L’unica cosa che salva del mondo di oggi è lo shopping online, che le permette di non mettere il naso fuori dal suo amatissimo e solitamente silenzioso appartamento. Almeno finché – proprio al piano di sopra – non arriva un misterioso inquilino: un ragazzo strano, molto giovane e vestito in un modo che a Julie fa storcere il naso. È davvero un bene che lei sia da sempre alla ricerca di un uomo d’altri tempi, perché il suo vicino, decisamente troppo moderno, potrebbe rivelarsi ben più simpatico di quanto avrebbe mai potuto sospettare…

Trama

Of course I want to be like them. They’re beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.

And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.

Jude was seven years old when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King.

To win a place at the Court, she must defy him–and face the consequences.

In doing so, she becomes embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, discovering her own capacity for bloodshed. But as civil war threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself.

Trama

In the kingdom of Sempera, time is currency—extracted from blood, bound to iron, and consumed to add time to one’s own lifespan. The rich aristocracy, like the Gerlings, tax the poor to the hilt, extending their own lives by centuries.

No one resents the Gerlings more than Jules Ember. A decade ago, she and her father were servants at Everless, the Gerlings’ palatial estate, until a fateful accident forced them to flee in the dead of night. When Jules discovers that her father is dying, she knows that she must return to Everless to earn more time for him before she loses him forever.

But going back to Everless brings more danger—and temptation—than Jules could have ever imagined. Soon she’s caught in a tangle of violent secrets and finds her heart torn between two people she thought she’d never see again. Her decisions have the power to change her fate—and the fate of time itself.
